By the composite health measure, Mineral Point, Wisconsin (ZIP 53565) ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,146th) and the top 25% of Wisconsin (193rd).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and transportation lies in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Modeled mammography lands in the top 8.7% nationally, and loneliness sits in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Modeled tooth loss is in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and housing insecurity settles in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 16% nationally. Set against that, lead in tap water rests in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the top 12.0% nationally.
To spell things out, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Close by, ZIP 53544, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.92 years of 78.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
